FINALLY I AM DONE WITH THIS CHAPTER! God this chapter was so hard to write. Not because I didn't know what to write but because real life decided to give me one mean hit after another I mean seriously. Last time I had a hell in my life as well. I really hope to get a break from the chaos side of life soon. First me and my boyfriend had some problems with something I probably shouldn't talk about here, nothing serious just that we had a little bit of a problem with a lot of things some things I won't mention, but it REALLY did stress me out, making me unable to concentrate on the chapter. Then there is that fact that between the beginning of september and beginning of december there are a lot of friends and family member that have their birthdays and then christmas and new year celebrations I just couldn't find the energy to write what I wanted in this chapter. But that is not all! It was in the end of november that my dog, that I have had for fifteen years got really sick. I mean REALLY sick! She had trouble walking had seemed to be in pain all the time and me and my dad made the decision to take her to our vet and let her sleep in. it was the hardest thing I ever had to do. I have had her for half my life and then she was gone... I cried so much as I sat by her side as the vet gave her the shot that would make her fall asleep peacfully. I cried for days afterwards as well. I didn't actually have her with me in the apartment for the last four to five years. but that was because I decided she wouldn't like a small two room apartment when she was used to a large house, a big yard and a forest around the house. But I still loved her. She was my beautiful girl. She was a mix of a hunting dog(Don't know the breeds name in english) and a siberian husky so she needed a lot of activity. I still miss her so so much but I Know she is in a better place now where she is not in pain and that makes it a little better...

Anyway. I plan on re-read all my chapters so that I don't forget something from the earlier chapters. I am also want to thank everyone for their patience. Also thanks to:

TaxLady0415: Thank you so much for your support. I hope this Chapter gives you the same experience as the others. It makes me so happy to read your reviews Yeah I am really trying to make Inu Yasha to grow up. this chapter will make that happen a little. But it will still be a slow road for him as he have to accept not only his own feeling but also accept what he in truth already know. That He really isn't suited as a leader. I mean he can lead but he isn't very good at it in my opinion.

ArcticVixen94: I am glad you think I made a good job on Sesshomaru's personality. I hope I can keep it up. This chapter made it a little hard to do but I think I did good. I hope you like this chapter and thank you for your support and kind words.

Guest: Hahaha Yeah maybe but don't worry, I have someone else in mind that will probably be able to make Inu Yasha start grow up. Thank you for you review.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
There will be another authors note at the end of this chapter, make sure to read it please.

Chapter 26.

Inu Yasha stared down at his pack and the addition that he wasn't all that happy about. Okay he had accepted Bankotsu, he didn't like him or that he was traveling with them, but he accepted it. He had helped and was still helping Kagome to not just heal but also becoming stronger. Something Inu Yasha was both happy and furious about. He just couldn't understand it himself. A part of him was very happy that Kagome was getting stronger, though it angered him that Naraku had to have a chance to hurt her the way it did for it to happen. On the other hand, another part of him didn't like it at all that Kagome didn't have to relay on him anymore. Inu Yasha sighed and shook his head as he watched the sun slowly going up. He hadn't gotten any sleep at all during the night, not that, that was all that bad. He didn't need to sleep every night like the humans in his pack. But it wasn't that hadn't tried to sleep. Ever since he had seen Kagome purify that moth demon, he had felt weird, he felt agitated and for better word, twitchy. He couldn't explain it and he had also noticed that Kouga, when he had the duty to guard them, would look at him in a very calm and calculated manner. It had been really annoying, and he had really wanted to yell att the mangy wolf and demand to know what he was looking at him for, but he just hadn't felt like fighting which in itself was just weird! It wasen't until just a few moments ago that the twitchy feeling changed slightly, and his body became warmer. Inu Yasha frowned in confusion. He had never felt like this before, so he didn't really know what to do and as usual that cowardly flee Myouga wasn't there. At that thought Inu Yasha scowled. Though he wouldn't ask that blabbermouth anything while he was still near the others. Something told him this was not something he wanted to ask nor know in the presence of the others. Inu yasha noticed movement in the camp and looked down to see everyone starting to wake up and shook himself mentally. Forcing himself to ignore the warm feeling that was slowly growing stronger and then he jumped down from the tree bransch he had claimed for himself.

"Come on let's get the food going so we can leave." Inu Yasha said in his usual brash voice and while he just got some annoyed grumble from most of the ones in the camp, Kouga and Bankotsu looked at him curiously and he only gave them an angry glare while Sango and Kagome got the fire started and then started to prepare their breakfast.

Kouga looked at Inu Yasha and his eyes narrowed slightly. He had noticed that Inu Yasha's aura and scent had slowly changed after Kagome had defeated the demon. He was pretty sure what it was and why, but he was also certain that Kagome herself had nothing to do with it and more that it was one of Inu Yasha's demon instincts awakening. If Kagome was the whole cause, then Inu Yasha would have tried to be closer to Kagome even if Kagome didn't feel comfortable with him being that close so Kagome was only the trigger. Kouga was slightly confused as to what was happening to Inu Yasha, it was extremely rare for a half demon to be able to awaken this particular instinct. Oh, sure, Inu Yasha was strong, Kouga could admit to that, though only to himself inside his mind, so, him having that instinct deep inside his subconscious was something he could accept. But actually, to be able to awaken it and feel the start of it. That was what confused him so much. Kouga shook his head to let go of his thoughts to then look towards Kagome who was taking out some sort of weird packages and how Sango checked the tempature of the water that they were boiling. Kouga slowly stood and stretched as he looked at the others. Shippo was sitting by the girls, watching, Miroku was sitting leaning against a tree meditating, though Kouga could see that the monk kept a watchful eye on Inu Yasha. 'Heh, seems like the monk had picked up on Inu Yasha's aura changing aswell' Kouga thought but to be honest. He wasen't all that surprised that the monk had picke up on it. He was sure Kagome had done the same but kept it to herself probably because she didn't want Inu Yasha to start a fight. He wasen't so sure about the kit, Shippo was still young and Sango, though being a demon slayer, probably wouldn't pick anything up for a few more hours at the most. Ginta and Hakkaku probably knew already but was for once not stupid enough to ask the half demon about it. Kouga's eyes slowly wandered to Bankotsu, who was sitting near Kagome, cleaning his halberd, but to Kouga's surprise Bankotsu seemed to already have picked up that Inu Yasha was not his usual self. He would have to ask the now living mercenaire about that later.

It didn't take long until breakfast was served, and they all ate in silence. That was though interrupted when Kagome gasped slightly and Inu Yasha let out a loud snarl and jumped to his feet. Kouga then picked up what was happening and blinked slightly but shen he saw that the slayer and monk just shrugged and continued to eat their breakfast he relaxed. He saw that Ginta and Hakkaku looking a little worried but just montioned them to relax and then went back to his own food. Kagome slowly stod as well, Bankotsu following her example and asked her what was going on and just sentance word was the only answer that was needed. Kagome smiling a little unsure when she spoke.

"Sesshomaru is coming this way." Bankotsu looked at Kagome while he relaxed. He wasn't worried about the great demon lord, Kagome had told him about. He had never met him personally. Inu Yasha however looked ready to start a fight and he seemed even more eager than Bankotsu had ever seen him being before. Kagome had told him that the two siblings fighting was a normal occurrence and it usually ended with Inu Yasha beaten and then Sesshomaru speaking to Kagome for a while as well as telling her about how the little human girl, Rin, was doing. Now though, would Kagome be able to act how she used to? Kagome didn't know herself, so she was nervous.

Sesshomaru was walking trough the forest. Once Rin had gotten to eat something, he had announced that they were leaving to find Kagome and Rin had been excited while Jaken had grumbled about having to be near Inu Yasha. Sesshomaru said nothing as he started to walk. Rin climbing up on his dragon sted Ah-Uhn with Jaken leading the sted. As they walked towards Sesshomaru could sense the auras of Inu Yasha's pack and though he wasn't near them he could pick up on Inu Yasha's aura steady changing and he chuckled internally. It seemed his brother really was experience what he thought. Now that was an interesting development. It would be very interesting to see if that idiot half breed had figured out what was happening. It not, well, he could always enlighten the idiot. Though he would have to order Jaken to take Rin and the kit out of hearing distance. That would be too hard. Sesshomaru couldn't help but chuckle internally on how Inu Yasha would react to the news. That would definitely be a sight to see. Of course, Sesshomaru could sense that Inu Yasha's pack seemed to have grown. He could sense the wolf prince and his two followers as well as the wolves that they always had with them. But he could also sense a human aura which seemed to be staying really close to Kagome, that confused him. But he would get his answers once he arried.

The clearing were Kagome and her group had stayed the night was a little tense. They knew, thanks, to Kaogme, that the lord of the west was on his way towards them. Kagome thought he would be there in an hour and though they usually went to meet him halfway, Kagome said she wanted to stay. Inu Yasha had growled and start to grumble and seemed to get more and more restless. She gave Inu Yasha a worried look but didn't say anything knowing whatever she would say to him might just set him off and if she was honest, she was really happy that Inu Yasha had tried to stay calm since she returned. She wasn't sure if she would be able to handle him the same way she used to do after what happened. Sure, she was getting better but her and Inu Yasha's friendship had always, ever since they met been rocky, to say the least. Kagome sat down at Bankotsu's side and took a deep breath. When she had sensed Sesshomaru's aura coming in their direction she had been happy but also worried. She looked forward to seeing them, especially little Rin, but she wasn't sure how she would feel near Sesshomaru himself. Oh, she wasn't worried about him trying anything against her. He had told her once on one of their private talks that if she had been a demon herself he might've asked to court her but her being a human made it better to stay, in her words as friends since having a half demon heir would only result in war with the other three lords or even assassination atepmts towards him and his pack. He had told her he respected her strength and power. That had really made her happy and after that they had become really close friends. Kagome sharing some of her books that would peak Sesshomaru's interests, such as, fighting strategy. She had even found out that the normal cold and unemotionally lord enjoyed reading poetry, making her give him a copy of a poetry that her father had liked. Now though, she just like with everyone else of her male friends, she worried how she would act around Sesshomaru, she had found it to relief that when it had come to Ginta and Hakkaku that she like she did Souta. They didn't feel like threat. They felt like brothers. Kouga was a little bit harder. He was so touchy-feely, so it made her tense and try to keep an acceptable distance. Something Kouga noticed and kept himself at an acceptable dinstance helping her relax. Inu Yasha, he had always been worse. Even after they had just decided to be friends. Staying overprotective and would always grab her out of the blue, that made her stay a little more at a distance from him. She knew that her friend had not and still didn't like that, but she had been very happy and shocked that Inu Yasha had kept his more selfish streak in check for so long. It made it easier to talk to him a little. she knew that he was still glaring at Bankotsu from time to time but decided to just ignore that. She knew that sooner or later Inu Yasha would blow his fuse and she wanted to enjoy this calmness for as long as possible. Kagome's thoughts were interrupted by Bankotsu speaking to her and she looked at him and smiled a small smile.

"Sorry, Bankotsu. What did you say?" Kagome asked and Bankotsu snorted in amusement.

"I asked if you wanted to sparr a little or if you rather wanted to train your reiki with the monk." Bankotsu said calmly and Kagome giggled softly and looked at Bankotsu and then towards Miroku.

"Um, I think I would want to train with Miroku. Maybe after that we can see if Sesshomaru could give me a few pointers while we sparr?" Kagome asked, ignoring Inu Yasha let out a growling snort knowing that he didn't think that his full-blooded demon brother would bother help train a human. Bankotsu sent a dangerous glare towards where Inu Yasha was sitting in his tree and then looked at Kagome and smiled and pressed a kiss on her forehead affectionately as he heard the monk move towards them.

"That does sound interesting. While you train with the monk, I will go and see if I can find something for us to eat for lunch." Bankotsu said and stood up, nodding towards Miroku and then left, stopping only when Sango called out that she was coming with him and soon him and the slayer was gone from the clearing. Kagome stood up, a small blush on her face and looked at Miroku, who smiled gently at her and they then walked to a part of the clearing no one was using and sat down across from each other, Miroku keeping a acceptable dinstans between them as he slowly helped Kagome with her meditation.

Kagome was in the middle of training her ability to create barriers, keeping her eyes closed to keep her concentration better, when Sesshomaru and his small pack entered the clearing and when the others noticed him, they stopped what they were doing and looked at him. Not that he gave them any attention. His eyes were solely on Kagome. However, when Inu Yasha's angry growl was heard Kagome opened her eyes and looked towards her friends and then followed the stares towards Sesshomaru and she smiled a small smile and let her barrier fall.

"Sesshomaru, I sensed you were on your way here. I hope you and your pack are well." Kagome said politely as she slowly walked towards the cold lord, Bankotsu following behind as he gave Sesshomaru a polite and respectful nod with his head. Sesshomaru eyed him but then focused on Kagome and just nodded as greeting before he spoke.

"Hn, this Sesshomaru and his pack are fine Miko." Sesshomaru said coldly and Kagome smiled a little more. When Sesshomaru was about to speak again however he scented a change in the young mikos scent and it was not a change that was a accepted change and once Sesshomaru took another look at her aura his eyes turned red and he glared towards Inu Yasha who startled at the sudden anger that Sesshomaru was showing. Kagome herself stopped in confusion as she stood a few feet from Sesshomaru, Bankotsu staying behind her. Sesshomaru growled viciously towards Inu Yasha and before enyone could blink Sesshomaru had moved from his spot and had his hand clenched around Inu Yasha's neck lifting the younger half demon up in the air as he bared his fangs towards him.

"What have you done, half breed?!" Sesshomaru growls out as his youki start crackling around him in his anger while Inu Yasha tries to pry himself free, even though he knows that won't happen.

"What the hell?! I haven't done shit! Let me go!" Inu Yasha snarls out only for Sesshomaru to start tightening his grip around Inu Yasha's throat, cutting his air slightly and Sesshomaru then glared over at Jaken who stood in shock besides a confused and worried Rin.

"Jaken, get Rin and the kit out of here." Sesshomaru growled and Jaken flinched and then hurried to obey his lord's orders and made a confused Rin and a worried Shippo to leave a little way away. Not far enough to have them at risk at being attacked but far enough so that at least little Rin wouldn't hear what was about to take place. Jaken figured that the kit probably had an idea of why his lord had become so angry.

Once Jaken and the children were gone Sesshomaru looked back at the still struggling Inu Yasha and snarled in his face making Inu Yasha go completely still and stare in shock and a, albeit, small amount of fear.

"Exactly, you haven't done anything, half breed." Sesshomaru growled out as he then let go of Inu Yasha and bared his fangs at him, while Inu Yasha fell on his ass and stared dumbfounded up at the normally cold and detached demon lord.

"Who did it?" Sesshomaru hissed out coldly and that was when Kagome startled out of her shocked stupor and hurried over to the two half brothers, realizing what Sesshomaru had probably realized and she bit her lip in uncertainty as she slowly placed her hand on Sesshomaru's arm. Sesshomaru slowly glancing down at her.

"It wasn't Inu Yasha's fault, Sesshomaru. We had a fight and I left to go bath in the hot spring near Edo and got kidnapped…." Kagome slowly said as she meets Sesshomaru's red and yellow eyes. At her words the others in the clearing realized what seem to have made Sesshomaru angry and they became all looked at each other in worry. Sesshomaru looked down at the young miko and growled and snapped his head back towards Inu Yasha when he heard the younger one move to stand.

"That is the problem. He claims to be your leader, your alpha but when you left after, what you just said was a fight he didn't even consider following you to make sure you were safe. Instead he most likely went sulk. Not carring what his own selfishness could cause." Sesshomaru snarled out making Inu Yasha flinch. It was true that he had refused to go after Kagome. Though the fact that all those sit commands she had unleashed on him that day before she stormed of had made his back hurt, he still had been able to move but had refused to. And Inu Yasha could admit that he had been selfish, at least mentally agreeing, he would never actually volcally agree to anything his bastard of a half brother ever said. Inu Yasha looked at Sesshomaru and scowled.

"It's not like I knew anything would happen! And what the hell do you mean that I only Claim to be the alpha?! I am, you bastard!" Inu Yasha yells out only to have his throat caught in Sesshomaru's grip again and the red and yellow eyes glaring at him.

"An alpha does not let one of their pack members to leave the group alone unless the alpha has made a check on the surroundings to make sure it is safe to do so." Sesshomaru snarls out before he throws Inu Yasha to the ground again. He then turns to look at Kagome and his red eyes slowly gets back to normal.

"Who was it, miko?" Sesshomaru asks and at that Kagome looks down to her feet and slowly removes her hand on his arms before she met his eyes again and said, in a very quiet voice, just above a whisper the name of her attacker. When Sesshomaru hears the name, he growls deeply and his youki crackles around him before he takes a deep calming breath. Once he is back to his usual calm self again, he sends one last glare at Inu Yasha that this time had stayed on the ground and then looks at the others.

"Then this Sesshomaru will begin travel with your pack miko." Sesshomaru said and met Kagomes eyes as she stared at him in shock and Inu Yasha's unhappy outcry could be heard but was ignored.

"You are a valuable ally to this Sesshomaru, and it is for the best that I make sure you really are safe this time." Sesshomaru said and Kagome blinked in shock before she gave a small smile and nodded in acceptance. She knew that just like Inu Yasha, once Sesshomaru decided on something he wouldn't change his mind. The others in the camp, though shocked as well, seemed to accept it as well. At least until the one who didn't, made his opinion very loud and clear.

"Of hell no!" Inu Yasha snarls out as he once more got back on his feet and glares at Sesshomaru, baring his fangs.

"There is no fucking way you are traveling with my pack! I don't care what you say, I am the leader and I will not let you just barge into my pack. It is bad enough I have to have that fleabitten wolf and his idiot followers with us" No way are you traveling with us as well!" Inu Yasha growls out. The temper he had tried to hold in check snapping at the thought of having his asshole of a half brother come in and try to take his pack from him. When he heard Kouga growl in warning he ignored it favor to glare at Sesshomaru that just met his eyes with a cold glare. It didn't help that he felt on edge and flustered even before Sesshomaru suddenly said he was going to join them.

"That is just the thing, Inu Yasha. You aren't the leader, you are no alpha. And what your aura and scent tell me confirms it." Sesshomaru says coldly, confusing everyone in the clearing except the ones that was demons since they had picked up on it the moment the change in Inu Yasha had happened. Inu Yasha was just about to start yelling again however, before Inu Yasha could start yelling, Kagome spoke from the side, looking between Inu Yasha and Sesshomaru in confusion.

"Sesshomaru, what are you talking about? What about Inu Yasha's aura and scent…? And why would that determine whether or not he is our leader?" At Kagome's question Sesshomaru looks at her then back at Inu Yasha and start circkling him making Inu Yasha tense. This was something that the older full-blooded demon had never done before. Sesshomaru looked at Inu Yasha while he kept circling him and then spoke.

"Every demon and half-breeds have an inner beast. Half-breeds usually don't have any real connections to it other then their instincts. And every full-blooded demon also has a second nature to themselves and their beast." Sesshomaru spoke coldly as he looked at Kagome and then to Inu Yasha, who was now glaring at him in confusion before he continued to speak.

"There are three of those natures that a demon can have and that nature awakens when they first go into heat. Those three natures are, Alpha, Beta and Omega. Alphas are the leaders, protectors and provider in a pack. They are the most dominant of the three natures. Betas are usually the pack alphas second in command. Alphas chooses a beta they can trust because Betas, though being just as strong as the alpha, don't have it in their nature to betray the pack at least not if they respect their alpha. Omegas are the weaker of the three natures. Not to say that they need protection unless the omega is a pregnant female omega. A pregnant omega female though protective and dangerous to outsiders still need to be protected since they carry the lives of the pups inside them. These three natures don't decide who a demon can or cannot mate. It just shows everyone their place in their pack. It is uncommon, however, for two omegas to mate each other since an omega, though strong in their own right, craves a more dominant partner. Alphas usually chooses an omega that their beast shows interest in, but an alpha can just as easily choose a beta or even another alpha. Though a mated pair of two alphas are only done by the royalties in order to continue a strong blood line. I myself is an alpha." Sesshomaru spoke coldly as he looked at everyone while everyone stared at him in shock. None of them had heard him speak that much before, well everyone except Kagome who just slowly looked at him in confusion.

"Okay, but that does that has to do with Inu Yasha not being our leader?" Kagome asked as she looked up at Sesshomaru and Sesshomaru mentally sighed and then spoke.

"I told you all this because of what is happening to Inu Yasha. As I said before, Half-breed usually don't have any real connections with their beast. It is usually just instincts. Just like Inu Yasha's blood lust when he loses control. He has no way of calming his own beast down because of his human blood getting in the way of that connection. But something happened not long ago. Something that has made the half-breed even more impatient and frustrated, correct? I know that the wold prince and his two second in command betas over there has noticed." Sesshomaru spoke coldly as he sent Kouga, Hakkaku and Ginta a cold stare and at the Koga slowly stood up.

"That is correct. I don't understand why but Inu Yasha has somehow, no matter how rare such an occurrence in a half-demon is, entered the beginning of his very first heat and as such uncovered his second nature. It happened after I lost control over my temper and tried to fight Kagome, she made me submit, abviously. Not that I think Inu-baka has realized it himself…" Kouga said as surprised gasps was heard by the human in the camp and they all stared in shock at Inu Yasha who himself was quite shocked. Kagome looked at Inu Yasha in shock and then looked at Sesshomaru.

"So, when you said that he is not the leader it means that he… um presented as a beta?" Kagome asked as she tilted her head and Bankotsu looked at her and then turned to looked at the demons among them and waited. He glanced towards Inu Yasha that was almost about to lose his temper now that the shock was slowly leaving him. However, his attention went back to Sesshomaru when the demon lord once more spoke.

"No, miko. Inu Yasha is not a beta, he has presented as an omega. Which do explain why he would be so attracted to the former Shikon miko. She was from what my spies told me back then very foolish, selfish but dominant." Sesshomaru spoke coldly, at his words Inu Yasha became beet red in both emberassment and anger and he growled. He didn't know anything of what his bastard of a half-brother was talking about but what he could understand though was that Sesshomaru was trying to make his to believe that he was not their leader and at that he snarled in fury as he glared at Sesshomaru. Some part of him, however, had already agreed with what he had said for some reason and that pissed him of even more but before he could even move to attack Sesshomaru or even draw Tetsaiga against him he had the sharp bland of Bankotsu's Banryuu pressed at his throat and when he stared in shock and anger towards Bankotsu and growled Bankotsu just glared at him.

"If you even so much as try to attack Lord Sesshomaru I will personally knock you out, Inu Yasha. Kagome will get in the the crossfire if you attack him and I will kill you before I let that happen." Bankotsu said, his voice cold and deadly. He meant every word of what he had just said and at his words Inu Yasha slowly tensed and looked towards Sesshomaru and Kagome that was by his side, looking at him in confusion and a small amount of shock and fear and Inu Yasha slumped and nodded his understanding but still glared at Sesshomaru. Bankotsu saw this and slowly removed his weapon.

Kagome had been very shocked when Bankotsu had suddenly moved faster than she had ever seen him move since he came back to his real body in the future and when she saw that he had held his halberd against Inu Yasha's throat and that Inu Yasha himself had seemed ready to attack Sesshomaru even though she had been near him. She blinked slowly and gave Inu Yasha a worried look and then looked at Sesshomaru again.

"So… Inu Yasha is an omega… what does that mean for him?" She asked, still very concern for her friend and Sesshomaru looked at Inu Yasha then he looked very intrigued at Bankotsu before his eyes returned to Kagome and spoke.

"Nothing much. It just means that Inu Yasha is drawn towards a dominant partner. If he had been a female it would've been a little bit more of a concern since that would make it that the royals of the demon court would want to claim him. Even if he is just a half-breed had he been born as a female that then presented as an omega, half-breed or not he would have bloodties to one of the four ruling household making him a very good target to get hold of part of the west. Even now he has a small part of the west as his own. He has just never come to really claim it. He never seemed interested in the land that is his and it has just been left in my care. But as a male he was of no political use for the lower lords and ladies in the west and was left alone." Sesshomaru said calmly and Kagome stared at him in shock.

"S-so you mean that if he had been a girl, he would've been of more value to you and the west?" Kagome asked and Sesshomaru shook his head and spoke again before Inu Yasha, that looked like he was about to start screaming.

"Not exactly. To me he would've always been a bastard child. But had he been born a female my mother would most likely have forced him and his mother into hiding in one of her many secret castles in order to make sure that he couldn't be used as a tool by some powerhungry lord that would just use him to get into the western family. As a male however, there was no need for that, and my mother instead gave his mother a choice. Either she stayed in the castle of the west with him and raised him there or she could return to her own human family with him. My mother was also very clear to Izayoi that the choice she made would be permanent. Izayoi choose to go back to her own family and she never tried to contact my mother or me again. The rest I am sure Inu Yasha knows himself." Sesshomaru said and Inu Yasha's ears laid flat against his skull at that and he looked down at the ground as he growled.

His head then snapped up again and he glared at Sesshomaru.

"That still doesn't prove that I am this damn omega nature or that I am going into heat!" Inu Yasha snarled out even though the thought of him actually being in heat made his whole body feel very warm and his head felt fuzzy. His thoughts cleared when he heard Kouga snort at his words and he shot the wolf demon a fiery glare before he returned to glare at Sesshomaru who just glared back at him.

"It does. Every demon here in the clearing as well any demon that are in the woods can smell it. You, yourself can smell it as well. Your smell is different from this Sesshomaru, the wolf prince and the two wolf demon betas. And if you don't go to where your desired partner and mate is then you will just attract demons that would just want a quick rut out of you. Your heat will only grow stronger until you go to where your instincts and inner beast want you to go." Sesshomaru said coldly and Inu Yasha flinched at his words of his supposed heat becoming worse and that other demons would try to rut him and he looked at Kagome as she slowly started to walk up to him and he watched as she slowly took one of his hands in her own two hands and gave him a small gentle smile.

"Inu Yasha, if Sesshomaru is telling the truth then you should go. The rest of us will return to Edo and wait for you there. I am pretty sure myself on who you actually want. Go Inu Yasha, we will follow you." Kagome said and at her words Sango and Miroku started to pack up camp. Inu Yasha looked at Kagome and then looked away stubbornly.

"I don't know what you talk about." Inu Yasha grumbled, the face of Jakotsu however popped up into his mind and he felt like the warm feeling inside of him grew even warmer and when he felt that he glanced towards Sesshomaru before he growled and slowly freed his hand from Kagome's hands and then looked at her. Kagome just smiled and then took out a small sutra from her pocket and put it on Inu Yasha's robe and said a small incantation and Inu Yasha was surrounded by a pink glow and he looked at her in confusion.

"A Protective spell. In case someone tries to attack you. Now, go Inu Yasha. We will see you soon." Kagome said while smiling and Inu Yasha blushed and slowly nodded and then glared at Sesshomaru.

"Don't try anything, you bastard. This is still my pack. Once I have proven to you that I am not in heat I will be back and let everyone know that you and Kouga set this up somehow!" Inu Yasha yelled out and then he just turned on the balls of his feet and rushed into the forest in the direction to where Edo was. He completely ignored Kouga's amused chuckle as he ran at full speed. His thoughts on what he had just found out. He would never admit it but everything Sesshomaru had said, he didn't pick up on any lies in it and before he and Kikyo had been tricked by Naraku he had indeed been attracted by Kikyo's dominant personality. Now however, his thoughts went towards the man that he had really hated while said man been a resurrected as a pawn for Naraku but now was very much alive and had made him feel calm around him. A part of still didn't want to accept what was happening but another part, a much bigger part, of him was looking forward to seeing the crazy man that in the future was making weird clothes to try to become what he had called a fashion designer. Inu Yasha smiled a little as he sped up even further.

In the clearing everyone watched until they couldn't see Inu Yasha anymore and then Sesshomaru flared his youki to alert Jaken to return and it didn't take more than a few minutes intil the ugly imp, the dragon steed and the two children returned. Kagome explained to the children and Jaken that they were going to head towards Edo and soon the camp was completely packed up and they already to go. Shippo, Rin and Jaken was on Ah-Uhn, Miroku and Sango was on Kirara. Kouga and his men and the wolves just said they would run to Edo and was already of, Kouga calling out to Kagome that they would see them in the village. Kagome and Bankotsu however, had been allowed to travel on Sesshomaru's cloud. It seemed that Sesshomaru wanted, or rather demanded, to speak with Bankotsu so this was the solution that would make it possible for that to happen while they started their traveling back to Edo. Once Sesshomaru, Kagome and Bankotsu was up in the air, the two headed dragon followed suit, Kirara behind the dragon and they were of. They wouldn't reach Edo until earliest the next day so they would have to make camp at least once more but that was no problem. Kagome looked towards where she knew Edo was and hoped her protective sutra, she had placed on Inu Yasha would work, even when she had gotten so much better at her reiki, she was still worried. Her thoughts were interrupted when Sesshomaru spoke and she looked at him.

"So, how were you able to move so fast earlier, human?" Sesshomaru asked as he gave Bankotsu a cold stare. Kagome looked at Bankotsu and smiled a little, the two of them was standing of either side of Sesshomaru but she still felt close to her boyfriend and Bankotsu gave her a calm smile and then met Sesshomaru's stare with his own.

"Now, that might actually be an interesting story to tell, Lord Sesshomaru. In truth is that I…"

AN: Okay! Before anyone start giving me a hard time about this Alpha, Beta and Omega thing this is NOT an Omegaverse. Inu Yasha will not be able to become pregnant just because he is a omega. I just got the idea of this after watching the movie Alpha and Omega about two wolves(A alpha female and a omega wolf becoming a mated pair) That is all. And also YES Inu Yasha will end up with Jakotsu and it might show up a lemon with them. If that happens(which means if I am able to actually write a lemon with them that I am satisfied with) there will be a warning about it so that if you want to skip it you can. Hope you all like this chapter, bye! See you next time.
